What you need to know:

Students who are interested in taking dual credit College Algebra will go to the ACCESS - Apply Page website and complete steps 1 and 2 of the application process.

Students must take the online practice attempt in their high schools prior
to participating in the school proctored assessment. This score WILL NOT count as an official score.

Calculators will not be permitted unless provided within the online test itself.

Students will receive their score immediately. ALEKS also provides a summary of strengths and weaknesses as well as prep and learning modules that must be completed before the next test. After completing the modules, students take the proctored test for an official score.This score WILL be counted.

If a third attempt is necessary, students will need to come to Morgantown to complete the ALEKS.
